Privacy Policy
This page explains what limited information is collected on this site, how your data is handled when you subscribe via Stripe, and how cookies and analytics work.
1. Introduction
Aussie Penny Stocks is a personal ASX trading diary run by a single individual. The site includes a my Portfolio, Trade Logs, Watchlists, a Blog, and an optional monthly subscription processed via Stripe. This privacy policy explains what limited information may be collected when you visit or subscribe to the site, how that information is used, and the choices you have.
2. Information We Collect
The site is designed to collect as little personal information as reasonably possible. In normal use, you are not asked to enter your name, address or other identifying details. However, standard web server logs and analytics tools may automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring URLs and approximate location. If you contact the author directly (for example, by email) or if simple forms are added in future, any details you choose to provide will be collected along with the content of your message.
3. How Your Information Is Used
Information collected via logs and analytics is used to understand how the site is being accessed and to improve content, layout and performance. Aggregate statistics—for example, which pages are read most often or what devices are commonly used—help guide future updates. If you voluntarily provide contact details, they may be used to respond to your enquiry or, with your consent, to send occasional updates if such a feature is introduced. Your information is not used to make automated investment decisions or to build trading profiles about you.
4. Sharing and Third-Party Services
This site uses third-party services that may collect data through their own mechanisms. Analytics providers such as Google Analytics may set cookies to measure traffic and usage patterns. If you choose to subscribe, payments are processed by Stripe. Stripe collects and stores payment details, billing address, and email address in accordance with its own privacy policy. This site does not store your payment card details. Apart from these standard third-party tools, your information is not sold, rented or traded to other parties. Data may be disclosed if required by law or to protect the rights, property or safety of the author or other users.
5. Data Security
Reasonable measures are taken to protect the limited data that may be collected, including the use of reputable hosting providers and standard security practices. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. As a result, absolute security cannot be guaranteed. You should take your own precautions when browsing the web, such as using up-to-date software and being careful about the information you choose to share online.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
This site may use cookies and similar technologies to support basic functionality, analytics and advertising. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They can help remember simple preferences, measure traffic and show more relevant ads. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them, but doing so may affect how some websites function. By continuing to use this site, you consent to the use of cookies and third-party tracking technologies as described in this policy and in the privacy policies of the relevant providers (such as Google).
7. Contact and Changes to This Policy
Because this is a personal project, there is no large support team or call centre behind the site. If you have questions about this privacy policy, data usage or cookies, you can get in touch using the contact details provided on the site or via any listed social or email link. This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the site’s features, analytics tools or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page, and your continued use of the site after changes are published will mean you accept the revised policy.
